Five years is enough time to change a lot of things, and Li Zhen was originally ready to meet a "stranger".

It's just that he didn't expect this "stranger" to be so unfamiliar—the face that appeared in front of him was not human.

Twenty paces between them, they stopped.

Li Zhen looked at the other party with a scrutinizing gaze, and was relieved immediately after the initial surprise - the other party's current appearance should actually be what he expected.

He had killed one of Lucifer's doppelgangers in Wanzhou, knowing in his heart that he would deal a heavy blow to that species. He also knew that the other "self" in the north would not give up such a great opportunity - he had already said that he would become the most powerful existence in this world, and of course there was no reason to give up such a good opportunity.

It's just that it seems that he has done far more completely and decisively than he expected.

Is this considered a "heart and soul"?

Li Zhen sighed lightly and said, "So you solved it." ”

The other grinned, revealing the fine and sharp teeth under his lips: "You have a share of the credit." ”

The two looked at each other for a while, and the other party tilted his head: "You know, there are many people who want the two of us to fight and split up to the death-of you and me - of course, ending up together is probably the result they are most happy to see." I wanted to kill you, too, but unfortunately you got it. ”

He looked at Li Zhen's right hand.

The changed shape of the "Longinus Spear" was haunting with a strange red glow, pulsing slightly at an extremely slow frequency.

"Actually, I've changed my mind right now." The other party said sincerely, "Five years ago, I didn't know as much as I do now. But for now. We all seem to be in a terrible crisis. So the two of us can try to sit down and negotiate – get that crisis out of the way first, and then deal with things between us. ”

Li Zhen carefully observed his expression, trying to see what he really thought. However, the thin scales on the other party's face hid his slight emotions, and the slightly stiff smile didn't seem to mean anything.

He gave up his efforts and asked in a solemn voice, "You mean the last day?" Do you know what that is? ”

The other party smiled and spread his hands: "Let's talk openly and honestly, you don't need to be so cautious." I'm sure you've guessed some of the clues – like the island. Do you think the island could be part of something more powerful—the kind that created the species? ”

"You should know that there is also an arm in the city of Murmansk behind me. It's early August, and it's freezing in the middle of nowhere—because some of the power contained in that arm has been leaked out. Dozens of force field limiting devices still can't completely restrain it. How does this amount of power compare to that island? ”

Li Zhen stared at him for a while. "That means you think that thing is our worst enemy—and even the worst enemy of the species." And the last day of prophecy refers to the awakening of that thing. Then try to destroy all the creatures in this world like the species that destroyed humans. ”

"Yes." The other person nodded.

Li Zhen paced a few steps, thought for a moment, and raised his head.

In a factual tone, he said, "So. You think that's how it is—"

"The former Lord thinks that the day of the awakening of that being is getting nearer. And the species are in decline. So he felt that the group was not enough to fight the crisis, so he created the original old man. ”

"The old man multiplied for a while, but did not create a civilization that shocked the world. Thus the Lord took advantage of the alienation of the old man to create the new man, the human being of the present. ”

However, he feared that the species would destroy the new humans, so he killed some of them, leaving only some of the most powerful. Then its time also came to an end, and it was divided into two parts—the Yellow Emperor and the egg. Although there were some problems during this period, the Yellow Emperor, as the successor of the ruling will, still suppressed the remaining kindred, giving human civilization time to multiply and develop. ”

"Just six years ago, the first species, Adam, woke up, and then it evoked Chiyu. And because of the influence of other external factors, other species that have been suppressed have also awakened. At that time, we felt that this kind of thing was brutal by nature, and that it was born to destroy humanity. But then it turns out that they are not destroying, they are simply trying to convert humans into xenos. ”

"As for what they do for it? I think the reason is that they also know that the day after the end of the Dao is coming, so they try to transform the humans in this world into more powerful xenomorphs as much as possible in a short period of time, so as to fight against that disaster. ”

"However, they seem to have misunderstood their master's intentions - to give humanity thousands of years to multiply and grow, but not just to make the human population more and more numerous, and then transformed into a huge number of cheap combat power by these guys - they are overkill."

"In fact, the Juggernaut must have observed what humanity has achieved today, and therefore pinned his hopes on the 'technology' thing. As for its suppressed kindred...... Probably it thought it would be fine as long as they were safe to hide underground. Wait for this crisis to pass, and then they can do whatever they want. ”

"I think the species have finally figured out what the Lord really meant. It's a pity that the Anthropocene realm was destroyed at that time...... Even if they converged, it was too late – the barrier had fallen. ”

"So now, you are hiding in Murmansk and seem to be trying to do something to remedy it - as far as I know, you are making people. You try to make a smarter and stronger human being—just like the One Lord once did. But don't you think it's too late? ”

The other party listened to Li Zhen's words very patiently.

It seemed that Li Zhen's approval made his mood much soothed, and the one sighed lightly: "It's really late." However, when the plan was activated, we had no idea that the thing would wake up so quickly. You know, the 'very soon' in the concept of species may be a day. It could also be a thousand years. ”

"Now that you know the truth of the matter, you should realize that we don't have a reason to fight now."

Li Zhen took a few more steps in the cold wind, looked at the person opposite, and suddenly chuckled: "How much do you remember from the past?" ”

And "Li Zhen" didn't understand why the other party would turn to this topic. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "I have what you have." ”

Li Zhen shook his head slightly: "Then do you remember, in the past, I hated watching brain-dead movies the most - the kind of brain-dead movies with low IQs and no logic at all." ”

"Actually, the things I just said could be used to make a B-movie. It's just that I myself will definitely scold the screenwriter for being braindead after seeing it - haven't I seen so many loopholes? ”

"If you are the Master, why don't you tell the secret, but hide it, as if everyone knows about this world and will destroy it in advance?"

"It's so powerful that it can even create people - why don't it suppress all of its people sooner rather than kill a few. Let your heirs suppress another batch? If human civilization had not developed to the present height. Even if it's just 100 years early...... Is there any difference between 10 species and 100,000 species for human beings? ”

"The most important thing is this thing – the secret of the 'last day' that has been passed down for hundreds of millions of years...... Do you believe that such an important thing really disappeared because of 'some coincidence', and we have to guess it now? ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Don't you have to think about it?" ”

The other party was silent. Li Zhen noticed that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He changed from a smile to a big smile: "Then I guessed right." When you meet for the first time, you absorb the power of the core. That part of the force makes you a different person. At that time, you had a chance to fuse me with me. But you say that then you will lose your 'self' - please. I am who I am, this one I am the real self, what is there to lose? ”

"Now it looks like your so-called 'self'. It's just the memories of being human that have nothing to do with emotion. You don't want to lose it, but you really can't get back the feeling of being a person, so you still call yourself 'Li Zhen'? Then you've absorbed Lucifer again...... I bet your mind is in a mess right now. ”

"Now this man who is standing in front of me and talking to me about the past...... I think it's a complete species, not a human. ”

"Li Zhen" narrowed his eyes, and a faint layer of blood appeared in his eyes. He tried to suppress some emotions in his heart, but there was still a trace of unquenchable anger in his words: "What do you want to say? Superiority as a 'pure human'? ”

"No, it's a sense of intellectual superiority." Li Zhen restrained his expression and said lightly, "I will ask you a question after the last." Do you still dream? ”

"Li Zhen" waved his hand irritably: "So what does it matter?" ”

"It's a big deal. A dream—the dream I had when I was lying in the hospital for the first time. Li Zhen said in a deep voice, "I think you're about to forget about it by now." ”

"Then, it seems like you're missing out on that secret forever."

"Li Zhen" stared at the "human" opposite. It took him nearly a minute to curb the impulsive bloodthirsty desire in his heart and said, "I can let you do this...... Have a good time venting. But you still shouldn't veto my proposal - there's no reason for us to fight to the death. ”

"Maybe you're right...... My memory is a little confused for the time being. I want to know the location of that island - we can make an exchange. Kitagawa Haruaki's skeleton is in Murmansk behind me - I'll give you that thing, and you tell me the location of that island. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Zhen's mouth: "Anecdote." A person who used to be in the same stream as the same species, and who did not hesitate to destroy the World Continent and wanted to make himself the most powerful existence, today is planning to save the World Continent? ”

The other party looked at him gloomily: "If I can ignore that existential threat, my mind will naturally not change." ”

"But a lot of things don't just come off with an apology – and you haven't shown the slightest apology so far." Li Zhen sneered, "You used her bones to do so many things, and tried to poison me, do you think I will be satisfied with taking things and leaving?" ”

"Li Zhen" finally became completely irritable. With a wave of his hand, his nails turned into slender blades: "So what do you want?" There were nearly a thousand people in the city behind me, and at the push of a button, her skeleton would turn to char in hundredths of a second. Are you going to take that risk? ”

"It's better than letting you get what you want." Li Zhen looked up into the sky, "Who knows if you want to find that island, and do you plan to absorb the power of that thing?" ”

He said in the end: "Also, don't you think that I have said so much to you in bits and pieces, in fact, I am not reminiscing about the old ......."

"It's stalling for time?"

"Li Zhen"'s eyes shrank and turned into the most vivid blood. Then he suddenly turned his head to follow Li Zhen's gaze.

There was a faint glow in the southeastern sky.

It is now 10:25 a.m., and the clouds over Murmansk have been dispersed. The sky turned pure blue again in the sunlight, and a faint layer of "clouds" had accumulated in the southeastern position.

In fact, this "spectacle" can be seen in many places in the world today—because the water vapor and clouds in the sky accumulate near the boundary of the separation zone, because some temporarily unknown effect has turned into a long line.

In the cloudy season, this long line clearly indicates the extent of the barrier without causing people to run headlong.

There is such a line of clouds in the southeastern sky of Murmansk.

The light burst out of the clouds.

The dazzling white light flickered, and three seconds later, five black dots quickly approached the airspace.

The black dot gradually expanded in the super line of sight of the two of them, and finally changed from a black dot to a silver bright spot reflecting the sun's rays.

That's five long-range strategic bombers, Sky Fortresses.

They seemed to be crashing into that deadly barrier at breakneck speed. However, just before the two sides could make contact, an area that had previously burst into light suddenly turned into a rainbow of colors. A hexagonal area of multicolored light spread out rapidly, emitting a high-pitched popping sound, forming a passage just large enough for the five behemoths to fly through.

The expected crash did not materialize, and five heavy bombers penetrated the barrier and entered the airspace of Murmansk.

Then two lines of fire extended from the belly of the plane in front of them, and in the blink of an eye they struck directly above the city of Murmansk.

Well, seeing the villain's words in this 1385, I unexpectedly received a long comment, Ha Luha.

There's another chapter of 5,000 words tonight. (To be continued......)
